Olympiakos Escape With Derby Draw
Sunday, November 9th, 2008
In what was a typically tense derby clash, Panathinaikos striker Vangelis Mantzios missed the best chance of the match when he saw his second-half effort blocked from point-blank range by veteran Greece ‘keeper Antonis Nikpoloidis.
Meanwhile, Vasilis Torosidis missed Olympiakos’ only clear-cut opportunity when he saw his first-half effort blocked on the line by Alexandros Tziolis, during what was an otherwise disjointed display by Ernesto Valverde’s men, who were fortunte to have escaped the Olympic Stadium with a point.
